🔴 Why didn't they mention the Attacker was a "Democrat". They act like they are worried about Misinformation, yet try to mislead you to believe he's a Republican, in which he is not.
Drop the hammer. Guess that cop should've chosen his words more carefully, lol.
Look at the two guys inside the house, one is holding the 🔨 with two hands,
the other has one hand on the 🔨 and a drink on the other, who the heck open the darn door? 🤨 a ghost?😮
why is Pelosi just looking at them and not screaming at the police for help?! and he was holding a drink?!
Bad stocks gone bad!
SMFH……….Talk about being Hammered.
Where is the footage that shows the hammer actually hitting his head? Looks like a complete fabrication. A staged event. Typical moves to appear there is actual physical contact. Maybe it was the "director" of this little skit who opened the door. They waited until just the right time to begin the "struggle." As soon as they knew the camera was on them it's like someone yelled "ACTION" None of this adds up, especially if you add in the 911 call prior to the police arrival with body cams. No wonder they tried to keep the body cam footage out of view. it was just another radical left-wing fake story as another distraction to the destruction they're causing in our Nation and the world.
So sad
Why don't the timelines match videos that were released 1/27/23?
508 am on break-in per video
931 per bodycam on police
I'm in danger but I better casually hold on to my drink.
You might want to put your drink down in a hammer struggle. And wipe off the vaseline.
I guess it was Paul’s turn for a load on his face
Well breaking this down. There are two reasonable explanations. The first, as you hear, is that he was hit by the hammer.
The second, with the step back out of frame, and Pelosi raising his hand to deflect the blow. From here, you next see them on the ground. So, was it the actual hammer or the floor the injured Pelosi? The story says the hammer did. I'm 50/50, given Pelosi had a drink in his hand, and from his previous Drunk Driving and wrecking his porche, he's a heavy drinker. So, it's possible Pelosi tripped and hit his head on the floor, or door handle, or door jam that you see when they move in on Depape, happens to drunk people all the time.
Though, this still isn't going to change the fact this is assault with a deadly weapon, assault with the intent to do bodily harm, and/or attempted murder.
Third, if you watch this with sound. The "labored breathing", yeah, that's snoring. Two entirely different sounds. Sort of like Pelosi passed out from drinking, more than anything.
Fourth, in a situation such as this, why would you be near the front front door? This part doesn't make any sense at all. I mean, Depape would want to keep Pelosi from escaping, right? Being near the front door doesn't work with that.
Fifth, when the door opened, and Pelosi saw the police, why did he just let go of the hammer and run to them? Again, the fact that he remained, doesn't fit.
Sixth, if you pay attention, when the police rush in, he doesn't try to fight, like someone that just committed a crime. He's standing over Pelosi in a manner that looks more like, "Dude, are you alright?"
So, yeah, I'm 50/50 here on what happened. Given the positioning of the two, and that looks like a 20-22 ounce framing hammer, which going to add about 16 inches of reach. It's possible he hit Pelosi.
Though, I'm surprised that they haven't called for a ban on hammers because of this. Oh, right, you can't really use a hammer to defend yourself from your government. So, there's that.
The graphic content warning must be for Pelosi being in his underwear.
Premedatated murder attempt and he got caught with his hands in the cookie jar! BE REAL HE BETTER GET TIME THIS IS MESSED UP INFRONT OF THE POLICE COME ON
He saved his own life there, acting calm and friendly. But if only the cops rushed in the second the door was opened, instead of being stupid…
hopefully david depap's boyfriend is doing better after the attack 🙏
I kinda feel like he got busted having an affair and the attack was a quick last minute cover up plan. Or maybe he's just the kind of guy that answers the door half dressed with a drink in hand as an intruder stands behind him with a hammer 🤷♀️
Beautiful landscape as she said.
WHY is Paul Pelosi holding a drink? Like WTF dude. What really happened? What is going on here??
He got a hammer to the bum as well…Amen!
What you don't see is these two slamming ham for 3 hours before the call to the police.
I see a crazy guy and a dumb drunk.
Worst fake attack video I've ever seen. I seen better acting on 10 min waste your life FB videos
If a hammer is considered a deadly weapon, why cops did not have their guns drawn? However one day I ran a stop sign I didn't see and they both were aiming their guns at me for no valid reason. What's wrong with these officers?
